It was already late at night when we returned to the cave, but there was no sleep at all, so we took out the spoils from the battle in the morning.
A large storage bag with a volume of several thousand cubic meters contains a large amount of iron wood, a material that is much harder than ordinary steel and is very suitable for refining puppets.
In addition, there are more than 200 intact puppet archers, more than 300 puppet beasts similar to giant lizards, as well as some spiritual stone pills and some books.
Most of the books are related books that introduce how to make puppets and how to control puppets. Of course, there is also a book on Dayan Jue.
This technique was very miraculous as described in the original book. It was only after I actually acquired this set of techniques that I discovered that this technique was very similar to the technique I had been practicing.
It is said that the exercises I practice originally originated from the breathing guidance technique. After years of continuous practice, constant correction of errors, and the integration of some of my own understanding, I finally formed a set of practice methods.
I really didn't expect that something based on the breathing guidance technique and then gradually corrected and perfected by myself would be so similar to the Dayan Jue in this world.
However, although the techniques are very similar, the requirements for practitioners and the effects obtained after practice are very different.
The requirements for practitioners of Dayan Jue can be said to be extremely demanding. Having spiritual roots is only the foundation. They also need to have naturally powerful spiritual consciousness and extremely high understanding. In addition, after practicing Dayan Jue to the middle stage, you still need to experience all kinds of life.
Only by experiencing all the sufferings in the world can you gradually complete the journey of cultivating your mind.
Of course, the effect of such a demanding and troublesome technique is of course excellent after it is completed. Not only is the spiritual consciousness more than twice as large as that of monks of the same level, but it can also easily separate thousands of spiritual consciousnesses and control thousands of them at the same time.
Fighting with puppets is enough to defeat monks of the same level.
As for the Advanced Saka Breathing Guidance Technique that I have gradually perfected, there are no requirements for practitioners. As long as they have a peaceful mind and a normal IQ, it doesn't matter whether they have spiritual roots or not.
Of course, those who have spiritual roots basically do not need the assistance of Qi training pills when exercising. They can directly introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In fact, most of the time, they do not need the assistance of pills.
As for people without spiritual roots, due to the restrictions of the laws of this world, without spiritual roots they cannot directly introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They should also be able to take Qi Lian Dan to assist in Qi training and foundation building.
In principle, as long as there are enough Qi training pills, even ordinary people should be able to build a foundation or even form a pill. Of course, this is only theoretically feasible at present and has not been tested on ordinary people. It is still unclear how the situation will be.
All in all, the set of skills I practiced basically had no requirements, and my spiritual consciousness seemed to be more than twice as powerful as that of monks of the same level. However, it was difficult to distract myself from my shameful skills.
Not to mention splitting the consciousness into thousands of parts and controlling thousands of puppets at the same time, even if it is divided into hundreds of parts, flying swords a hundred and ten at the same time is somewhat inadequate.
…
Fortunately, there are some tricks. You can use the soul transfer technique to transfer the souls of some easily controllable animals into the machine puppets. In this way, the machine puppets will have a certain basic intelligence.
Things such as running and chasing, searching for targets, launching simple attacks, etc. no longer require special spiritual consciousness to control. You only need to use the spiritual consciousness stored in the puppet's core array to pass simple command information.
In fact, the man surnamed Ye used this kind of trick. Otherwise, with his cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, it would be impossible to control so many puppets at the same time with thousands of spiritual consciousness to hunt down Senior Brother Wu.
If it were possible to branch out so much spiritual consciousness and control thousands of puppets at the same time, Senior Brother Wu would have no chance to run such a long distance and be killed by the other party in an instant.
Because when the true consciousness controls a puppet to attack, it is actually similar to the main body attacking directly. It can also use the consciousness to lock the opponent. If it is controlled in that way, it will be extremely difficult to avoid even dozens of puppets, let alone thousands of puppets.
.
It's like being attacked by dozens of monks of the same level at the same time. Very few monks can withstand it, so this tricky puppet control technique is more suitable for large-scale wars.
If you encounter someone who has cast a magic circle barrier, you can use a large number of puppets to attack and forcibly destroy the magic circle barrier.
It's just that this usage still doesn't mean much to Li Xiao. As long as the power of law is not integrated into the puppet, in fact, no amount of puppet attacks can be as impactful as a tiny piece of antimatter.
After careful analysis for a long time, it seemed that the large number of primary puppets obtained did not help much in improving one's combat effectiveness, and could only be used to do some hard work.
As for auxiliary combat, these puppets must at least be upgraded and transformed in all aspects, so that the attacks have a hint of the power of law, and perhaps reluctantly improve their own combat effectiveness.
…
He raised his hand and took in a lizard from outside the cave, and then used the soul-inducing technique according to the instructions in the puppet-making pamphlet.
Although I had never learned a similar spell, I was able to cast it very easily. A wisp of the lizard's soul was easily extracted and loaded into the machine puppet.
The process can be said to be quite smooth. After losing its soul, the lizard that was still alive and kicking instantly lost its vitality, but the lizard-like mechanism puppet came to life in an instant, and behaved just like a lizard.
Because there was also a ray of divine consciousness stored in the core, after being affected by that ray of divine consciousness, the living lizard puppet did not run away in fear, but instead showed great intimacy to Li Xiao.
For some simple commands, it is also executed quite well, but it can be used as free labor...
It seems that it cannot be said to be free labor. This thing also consumes spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it must be replenished with spiritual stones.
Of course, you can also build a magic circle that automatically absorbs energy in the puppet's body, but the cost is too high. It is not cost-effective to use a magic circle that can automatically absorb energy on such an extremely elementary consumable.
.
However, seeing that this thing is so alive and can carry out orders quite well, it can be built to serve as a reconnaissance, exploration, security, etc.
Then he selected a dozen more puppets in the form of lizards, cleared away the remaining soul power in the control core, and then ingested a dozen lizards from around the cave.
As for why I only chose lizards, the main reason is that most of the puppets I got were in the form of lizards. It would be easier to load the lizard's soul into it and control it. Otherwise, if I put a snake in and the puppet was in lizard form, it would be quite difficult to move.
Embarrassed.
——
Time flies and several months pass by. Apart from occasionally going to the mines these days, I spend most of my time staying in the cave.
Of course, there are a lot of things to do. He not only needs to study the first-level puppet technology of the magic circle, but also cultivates the thousand-year-old spiritual grass to refine the top-level elixir. Of course, taking drugs to improve his cultivation level is also a matter of course.
Only half a year has passed, and we are already approaching the middle stage of foundation building. It may only take four or five years to reach the peak of foundation building, and then we can use the third-turn heavy element technique to compress the innate true essence.
…
There are several rows of array equipment in the cave, each operating in an orderly manner. The dozens of separated strands of spiritual consciousness are loaded into a dozen humanoid puppets, and they can each be busy with different things.
This kind of control is not some kind of trickery, but actually divides the consciousness into dozens of points, and simultaneously controls the dozens of humanoid puppets to do their own things.
Either adding raw materials to the array equipment, fertilizing and watering the large medicinal field outside the cave, or refining the best elixir. As for Li Xiao's body, he is holding the Inverted Five Elements that has completed the initial upgrade.
Check carefully to see if there are any defects.
Although the defensive power of this array, even after it is upgraded, is not necessarily stronger than my own Zhoutian Starry Formation, it does have many unique features. For example, it is much more powerful than my own Zhoutian Starry Formation in terms of resisting divine perception.
After special upgrades, this formation can even easily block the spiritual perception of Nascent Soul monks.
